Manly makes the trek north to take on North Queensland in a game the Cowboys must win to keep their flickering finals hopes alive. Unfortunately for the Queenslanders, they must do so without their State of Origin quartet of Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott, James Tamou and Brent Tate and it will take a herculean effort to topple a Manly side that belted Parramatta 50-10 last week. The Sea Eagles are missing Daly Cherry-Evans and Anthony Watmough but look better able to cover for their absence.
